There are several companies and apps that offer heating control from your phone, but they all tackle it in similar ways. Most of the time, smartphone heating controls require a compatible ‘smart thermostat’ that links with your boiler and connects it to the internet. Then, using the corresponding app or website on your smartphone or tablet, you can remotely access your heating controls and adjust them accordingly. This means that you can start to warm your home before you arrive in winter or turn your heating off from work if you forgot to in the morning! Many of these smart controls will even allow you to remotely determine the temperature of individual rooms by installing smart thermostatic radiator valves around your home, allowing you to carefully control the temperature in each room from anywhere. Most modern boilers of all makes, including Worcester, Ideal, Viessmann, Glow-worm, and more, should be compatible with at least one type of smart thermostat. Some boiler companies have their own technology that is specifically designed to work with their boilers while others can integrate with several different types of hardware. We can help you identify the right smart thermostat for your home layout, personal needs, and boiler specifications, while also being on hand to install and set it up on your behalf. It’s worth remembering that many significantly older boilers may not have any kind of smart thermostat compatibility, though if your boiler system can be controlled using a thermostat or interactive programmer, you will most likely have some options! If you do not have a boiler that is eligible for smart thermostat usage, consider upgrading to a more modern boiler!

Ideal boilers, known for their efficiency and reliability, pair seamlessly with the Ideal Connect wireless thermostat. This integration offers homeowners enhanced control over their heating systems, ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency. The package typically includes: Touch Connect wireless thermostat Boiler transceiver Desktop stand and mounting brackets Batteries for the thermostat Gateway with Ethernet and power cables. Ensure that your Ideal boiler is compatible with the Touch Connect system. Ideal boilers such as the Logic Combi C, Logic Max Combi C, Vogue Gen 2 Combi, and Vogue Max Combi are typically compatible with this system. The location of your thermostat and gateway significantly impacts the system’s efficiency. The thermostat should be positioned away from direct sunlight, draughts, and other heat sources to avoid false readings. It should also be within a 20-meter range of the boiler, with minimal obstructions like walls or ceilings. Installing the boiler transceiver: Safety first – ensure the boiler’s power is off. Remove the boiler’s blanking plate and install the transceiver, a crucial component that enables communication between the boiler and the thermostat. Setting up the gateway: The gateway acts as the bridge between your router and the thermostat. Connect it to your router using the provided Ethernet cable and plug in the power supply, but do not power it up yet. Once installed, it’s important to regularly check the system to ensure it’s functioning optimally. This includes monitoring battery levels in the thermostat and ensuring the gateway remains connected to the router. If you encounter issues, such as the thermostat not responding or the boiler not heating up as expected, check the following: Ensure the thermostat’s batteries are fresh and properly installed. Confirm that the thermostat is within range of the boiler transceiver. Verify that the gateway is connected to the router and powered up. In case these steps do not resolve the issue, consult the troubleshooting section of the “Touch Connect Quick Start Guide” or reach out to Ideal’s customer support for assistance. Connecting your Ideal Connect wireless thermostat to your Ideal boiler is a straightforward process that enhances the efficiency and comfort of your home heating system. By following these detailed steps, you can ensure a successful installation and enjoy the benefits of a smart, energy-efficient heating system.
